Title: Hello
Post by: Osbad on January 31, 2011, 02:08:01 PM: The welcome message says I need to post something in the first four weeks or my account will be deleted. I'm more of a lurker (pun intended...) than a poster, so I thought I'd better post something now or I'd likely forget and get deleted!

Anyhoo, just to say I got hold of the Strange Aeons rules last week and really like them. So much I had to get stuck into painting up some snakemen cultists right away!

Right. That's done.

Now I'm off for a browse..!

Have you tried out the game yet?

Post by: Osbad on February 02, 2011, 12:01:40 PM: Thanks for the welcome guys.

I haven't tried out the game yet, but its slotted into the schedule. Due to family and other commitments (I've got 3 kids, a wife and a full time job) I get one game in a week, and I've been playing games for years, so have numerous sysems to support ;)

Painting's started though, as you can see, although now the snakemen are done, it'll be back to finishing off my Mantic undead for the time being.

Cheers
Paul

I feel a real kinship to you pal. I've got 3 kids too. Fortunately, my two boys are entering gaming age. I love it.

Of course, it's a bit humbling that my oldest boy is whipping my pants in Strange Aeons but hey...that's ok. He also wants to start painting his own miniatures. It's hard for me to feel alright with anyone touching my paint and brushes though. And I don't exactly have miniatures just sitting around that I want anyone else slapping paint on... OK maybe I have issues.. ::)

Nice serpent men, and welcome to LAF

Know what you mean about family, work and one night gaming ;) I'm a "newbie" to Strange Aeons as well - my copy arrived on Tuesday and I still haven't had a chance to open the covers yet.

My two lads (8 and 9) are both gamers. The youngest likes GW's Lord of the Rings and the older one likes 40k, so I do get to game with them too (and it counts as "family time" not "me time", so I'm onto a winner there!) It does eat into my painting time though as I keep helping them by building and painting some of the more complicated stuff they get for Christmas or birthdays. The 9 year old has his own brushes and does paint up the grunts for his army, but the 8 year-old is too lazy to do anything much with a brush (takes after his dad does that one!!)

I'm I'm not disclosing my W/L record against the lads. What is it with pre-teens and outrageously reliable dice luck?
